Syfan Supports 5k and Fun Run

Lace up for the Syfan Supports 5k and Fun Run, an inspiring event taking place on Friday, July 17, 2026, in scenic Gainesville, GA. This fourth annual gathering offers participants the choice of a 5K Run/Walk or a 1K Fun Run, welcoming runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The race kicks off at 6:15 PM EDT from the Midland Greenway, a picturesque setting at 682 Grove Street. You'll find the course to be "fast and flat" as it winds along the paved Greenway, with its certified 5K route even qualifying for the AJC Peachtree Road Race.

The Syfan Supports event is more than just a race; it's a powerful community fundraiser dedicated to making a positive impact. In 2026, proceeds will benefit My Sister's Place, a Christ-centered shelter providing hope and stability for single women and mothers experiencing homelessness. Last year's event successfully raised an impressive $50,000, demonstrating the strong spirit of community support. Race day conditions typically see highs around 88°F and lows around 70°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, making the evening start time a welcome feature.

Packet pick-up will be available onsite at Midland Greenway Park starting at 5:15 PM on race day, ensuring a smooth start to your evening. This event uniquely combines a supportive atmosphere with a well-regarded course, offering a chance to achieve a personal best while contributing to a vital cause in the Gainesville community.
